April 2017

Since I highlighted the last time, it only seems right to do so again. Greg’s post is open for comment here, the direct link is here, and an annotation of the interview for those who don’t feel like listening for 2+ hours is here.

Just as Greg looked askance at one of my favorite bloggers (Robin Hanson) last time, he delivers a similar verdict on Scott Alexander this time, and by extension all of Less Wrong. Speaking of which, the Chicago Less Wrong meetup group (which I intermittently attend) is inviting the 100 or so Slate Star Codex readers in the city who wanted a meetup. It will be on the University of Chicago campus, on the assumption that anyone who might be interested already lives in Hyde Park. And you don’t need to respond by bringing up Schelling Points, I know.
